Defective hip replacements can fail just a few years after they are implanted

Metal-on-metal hip replacements can cause problems within the first few years after replacement. The constant friction that takes place in a hip joint may cause the defective hip replacement to wear down and spread metallic debris throughout the body. This debris can cause soft-tissue injury, bone damage around the hip joint, and even metallosis. Metallosis is a build-up of metal debris in the soft tissue of the body. As a result, patients with metal-on-metal hip implants are much more likely to need costly revision surgeries.

Some of the more popular models of metal on metal hips include Johnson & Johnson / DePuy Orthopaedics ASR and Pinnacle systems and Stryker Orthopaedics Rejuvenate and Stryker ABG II systems.

Risks / Side Effects of Defective Hip Replacement Systems

Severe pain, typically radiating into the groin and/or back

Difficulty standing or walking

Necrosis (death of body tissue)

Bone and soft tissue damage

Elevated cobalt or chromium levels in blood

Implant loosening

Lysis (destruction of dissolution of cells)

Ostelysis

Device failure

Fluid collection and/or masses of tissues collecting around the joint

Metallosis

The need for additional revision surgeries (which may or may not be successful in correcting the problem)

It is very important to understand that not all Metal on Metal hip systems have been recalled by the FDA. However, our hip replace attorneys are bringing claims against manufacturers of metal on metal hip systems that have not been recalled.
